It seems that some outdoor art work like we see in Yountville would be great at the community center on Linda Vista Ave. The garden areas have been redone and updated and adding the art would really update the property.

Dear Scott,
Please do not block a 24' tall green neon plastic cactus statue in the middle of our 3 roundabout complex. I have seen near accidents occurring many times since I pass through at least twice a day. It is not iconic of the Napa Valley entrance nor the city of Napa for tourists or for locals! It is not only laughable; it is dangerous.

Thank you,
Pamela Jackson

I would like to voice my concern for traffic safety with the proposed installation of the giant green “art”? structure in the 1st St. roundabout.

It will only add to the already dangerous driving situation with people trying to navigate and being distracted by that bright green structure.

I won’t go further with my opinion of the piece itself but perhaps a beautiful tree would be inviting, safe and environmentally beneficial.

W.5SW WPi^(tecl6leya"d Council Members,
I am here regarding the public art for the 1st Street round about. I am sure that the City had good intentions regarding placing a public art piece at this location but in my opinion, it is a bad idea.

American drivers are just beginning to understand and learn how to navigate round abouts. Round abouts have many advantages over signaled intersections. They are less costly, more time efficient and on average much safer. For decades other countries have instituted round abouts with success. With few exceptions, they do not have distracting elements that could confuse drivers.

This past weekend we drove through 6 different round abouts in Truckee. They have used landscaping that allows drivers to have good visualization of the other cars entering and leaving.

Our 1st Street round about is fairly compact with several routes. As I understand, the effort to place a public art piece at this location has generated three options. All of these art pieces are inappropriate for this location. The very tail railroad rails has little to commend it. The shorter colorful animal structure includes few Napa County animals.

The approved piece, a 24" two story high, neon green lighted "cactus" is probably the worst due to its significant driver distraction capability.

I like the idea and plan to have public art in our community. Family friendly pedestrian locations are optimal for both enjoyment and enrichment. Having something along a straight stretch of 29 coming into town might work as an invitation. Our new round abouts are not where this effort should occur. Injury and Liability could happen.

Drought tolerant landscaping is the answer.

Thank you for your hard work for our community. Francie

Subject: roundabout sculptures
Date: Tuesday, July 19, 2022 4:02:13 PM
I think the idea of putting sculptures in roundabouts is simply ridiculous. I have no problem with placing them in parks, buildings etc. where they can be properly admired, but where drivers are supposed to be paying attention to the road, no way. I might add that I have been a museum docent for many years and am no way against any form of art - just not in a roundabout! How about flowers instead?
sincerely,
Harriet Spitz

Summary of Ma
y 17th Presen
tation
• The block of
Main Street from 2nd to 3rd Streets
was
reconstructed in 2019 at a cost of $1.8M; the project
purpose was to expand sidewalks for outdoor dining
• In August 2020 by emergency proclamation, this
block was closed to traffic for use as outdoor dining
to support businesses operating under health order
restrictions for the COVID-19 pandemic
• The temporary closure to traffic has been extended
until December 1, 2022 through emergency
proclamation
• A permanent closure would require:
• Improvements for accessibility elements,
stormwater quality features, and modified traffic
control
• Compliance with state laws regarding street
closures through Pedestrian Mall Act procedures

ATTACHMENT 1

• Rough
estimate for construction of $1M, however, figure only includes baseline elements for level surfacing and does not include enhanced plaza amenities or utility relocations (design work may identify much higher costs)
• Estimate assumes most of concrete and amenities will remain in place, engineering and architectural design may determine not feasible and costs could double or more if existing streetscape unable to be utilize
• Costs for the planning, design, inspections, legal, and administration are anticipated to be an additional 40% to 50%

• General Plan/Ordinance Amendments
• Procedures, findings, and public hearing
under Pedestrian Mall Act of 1960 (or similar
process)
• Main Street is most important N/S downtown

• Priva
te dining will require new policy for licensed usage & fees for public plaza space, dining could conflict with special events, observed limited dining usage during week & daytime • Private funding has been proposed, however, there have been no firm contributions offered to this point; property tax assessment is potential option • Expected development projects in the immediate area include Downtown Joe’s remodel and new building at First & Main (formerly known as Bounty Hunter project) • Input supporting the project included:
• providing more usable space along Veteran’s Park (described as park extension) • providing additional pedestrian, family friendly space for events and dining • reducing vehicle noise and exhaust for outdoor diners and park users • create enhanced, vibrant downtown block

• Can the Ci

closure of Main Street beyond
December?
• No. The emer
gency proclamations can take
immediate actions to address the
emergency situation. A long-term closure
of a public street conflicts with Vehicle
Code Section 21. After 2+ years, the
justification for the temporary closure to
address the emergency condition is no
longer suitable. If a closure of Main Street
is desired, there must be a process
undertaken for the permanent closure.

Additional Considerations
Future t

Hi Scott!!
Hope you are doing well. Its been a while since our paths last crossed.

I wanted to chime on the attached pitch and hope you will share my comments with Liz, Mary, Beth & Bernie too!
This proposal seems to benefit a handful of local business operators and I wonder why the same courtesy is not extended to other blocks such as ours @ 1130 Main St. I know that Coles, Torc, Osha, myself included would certainly benefit for this sort of business extension and pedestrian mall traffic. Perhaps your council should consider offering this opportunity to other downtown Napa operators to ensure a fair playing field? However, I think the main issues are that closing a part of Main St creates a traffic bottleneck and impacts traffic flow throughout the downtown area. Also, we are all paying taxes for projects that should benefit the entire community (ie solving the parking problem) vs benefiting only a few.

Thank you!
Item 14.A.

Vin and Julie…I hope the day finds you well. I had a conversation with Rebecca Lee and she encouraged me to voice my opinion on whether or not to close off Main Street. For 16 years I battled, cajoled, persuaded and lobbied for two-way street in Downtown Napa. My files are 1-inch thick. Proof that miracles do happen two-way streets have proven to be an absolute rousing success for both the merchants and the community at-large. Today we are still recovering from the pandemic and our restaurants and local businesses have paid a very high price. Thanks to the City’s involvement, creative powers were at work to overcome great obstacles. That said, Downtown Napa has only begun to see the light! Many businesses are making long term investments in our community, having good traffic circulation is paramount to our future success. Four more hotels? Downtown housing? Entertainment venues? An expanded Oxbow footprint? It was great to expand the sidewalk and dining areas across from Veterans Park. We all love outdoor dining, but do

we need to blockade the streets for the benefit of the few? Long term thinking doesn’t bode well for this short-sighted plan. I would highly recommend against N0-WAY Streets.

Thanks for your time and consideration.

Cheers for now,

Mary
The closure of the 800 block of Main Street in Napa was a gift to the citizens and visitors of Napa City during the pandemic. That closure gave the people of Napa a glimpse of what their downtown and riverfront could be as we move forward.

Find attached the views and comments of a signed petition (https://bit.ly/al- fresco-napa-signatures) from ~2,000 of your neighbors, friends, colleagues, constituents, stakeholders, and guests to the City of Napa we have received so far.

Please take their voices into consideration when you vote on opening this street in the next council meeting.

We will gladly forward this petition to you with the email addresses of signers if desired, for privacy reasons we did not attach them to this open letter.

Thank you,
Al Fresco Napa Supporters

Al Fresco Napa is supported by Napa residents, stakeholders, and generous guests from out of town. Our mission is to create a vibrant corridor extending through Veterans Park to the riverfront that is safe and void of traffic for pedestrians, children playing in the park, and al fresco dining.

Leslie Hauser 7/14/2022
As a local, it has been so wonderful to have the extended outdoor dining area on Main Street closed to vehicular traffic. It adds a level of vibrancy and community that otherwise can feel lacking downtown.

We also have a teenage child who appreciates the space at Veterans Memorial Park for gathering on her own with friends and enjoying music and other activities, and knowing that the area is blocked to vehicular traffic makes us feel more safe as parents.

Knowing that teens have a safe place to gather in a public area where adults are nearby if help is needed is a great local resource in a city with limited options for youth gathering.

Personally, I have noticed no traffic disruptions when driving downtown, knowing that Coombs and Soscol are easy throughways.

Bringing more energy and liveliness to downtown in the 4+ years that we have lived in Napa has been a joy to experience during a time of great nationwide trauma. Being able to have more space to gather outside safely should be a priority for City Council for locals, and having more places for tourists to engage in the community is welcome to the businesses as well.

Please keep this area of Main Street pedestrian-only, and I would even suggest closing down additional streets to vehicular traffic to bring more youthful energy to our city. Thank you for your service.

Daniel Cutright 7/13/2022
We have not missed being able to drive this section of Main St so would very much support the idea of keeping it free of vehicles. It makes for a very European Al Fresco experience, free of vehicle noise and exhaust. Please vote to keep this a permanent feature of the downtown experience.

Jennifer Anderson 7/13/2022
One of the best things to come out of Covid are all the street closures and parklets that have allowed for more outside dining.The Main Street closure has been even more of a plus because of it being right next to Veterans Park. The amount of activity and energy in the park along with the outdoor dining and pedestrian walkway has made for a wonderful outdoor space for the whole community to enjoy. When this little block is open to traffic it only becomes a raceway of cars speeding to beat the lights, loud engines and pollution next to outdoor diners. Please work on keeping it permanently closed in order to continue the vibrant and amazing space it has developed into.

Melyna Huff 7/13/2022 This is such a great addition and I hope it stays. We spent a lot of time in downtown now that we have this option! Steven Urberg 7/13/2022

Daan Smeets 7/11/2022
G. Evans 7/11/2022
As a Napa resident since 1995, I've seen a number of roadway changes over the years, e.g., the back-and-forth experiments on one-way streets downtown, the installation and subsequent removal of the roundabout in So. Napa, etc. This change is unwarranted, as it would remove a wonderful venue from downtown. Keeping that portion of Main Street closed hasn't seemed to affect traffic flow appreciably, it still allows delivery vehicles and, perhaps most significantly, can always be reopened at a later date.

What harm can come from keeping it closed (at least for now)? J Evans 7/11/2022
Jayne Haley 7/11/2022 Keep Main Street closed!!

Given the proximity of the park to the businesses and the number of pedestrians throughout that area, it’s unsafe to allow through traffic. Locals and tourists alike enjoy outdoor experiences and will opt to dine outside of Napa when they aren’t available.

Reopening this street will have a negative impact on the city of Napa, from an experiential, financial, and safety perspective.

I’ve lived here for over twenty years and the I don’t believe that the “inconvenience” of closing this street has been an issue.

Especially compared to the benefits of having an open air seating arrangement for all the restaurant here. It’s a great location and I think it’s in the best interest of the local economy and of the community to keep it.

Freddy Roman-Otero 7/3/2022 Please keep this section of main street closed to traffic! It provides a much needed escape from the hustle and bustle of California and allows these incredible restaurants to meet customer demand.

Glenn Hebert 7/3/2022
Jessica Di Fede 7/3/2022 It’s the only place downtown that has a great outdoor view and an almost european outdoor vibe. I’d also hate to see the extra seating taken away from restaurants who are still recovering from 2.5+ years of struggle during the pandemic.

Jessica Petrie 7/3/2022
Jose M Gomes 7/3/2022 Napa needs this...

I have been to New York,, Spain, Norway and many other places and they all have this style of outdoor dinning.

Please keep all of this open. Everyone absolutely loves it and it attracts more visitors. I think if businesses oppose it they’re not Al considering what actually attracts tourists. Short sighted. It’s also a great asset for locals and families.

There’s absolutely plenty of parking except perhaps when the Farmers market is on. That’s the one time parking is a challenge IHMO.

Lauren Hill 7/3/2022 The closed street is amazing for pedestrians. Walkable cities are know to be better in all ways.

Malcolm Eady 7/3/2022 There are many studies showing that walkable cities are more sustainable and leave citizens happier. Walkable cities are created by having less driving roads. The 800 block of Main Street should stay closed.

Curtis Di Fede 7/2/2022
City of Napa does not support small business. It’s interesting how difficult it is to get a use permit for anything in downtown, but other cities in California are willing to work with their small businesses. Napa’s city council’s ego is too big and god forbid we take attention away from their large heads and re-direct it towards restaurants that are doing well under the current climate. You’d think with how abysmal the city’s Covid relief for restaurants was they would want to help maintain anything cool and successful downtown. There has previously been no place to hang out downtown outside and now Napa wants to take that away. Get ready Napa to have more businesses fail under the current self admiration of the feeble minded city council.

While we love our- of-towners, they also take up all of our local reservations. The street being open has allowed us to support our favorite local joints throughout the year with the increase of tables. I do not understand the purpose of re-opening this otherwise useless Street which had zero traffic. Keep it as it is. Bring the city some money and a great street to boast about.

Nalen Uk 7/2/2022 Napa needs this. Otherwise cars and motorcycles will cruise and cause noise pollution. Since the outdoor dining started there are less homeless people at the park. This adds value to Napa.

Neil Robinson 7/2/2022 There should be more of this in Napa.

Elayna Trucker 7/1/2022 Having this one block be off limits to traffic is SO NICE!! This is a small town and there are plenty of other streets to drive, we should have MORE car-less streets, not fewer.

Tourists and locals alike love the dining on Main Street between second and third streets. It does not impede traffic and adds a unique experience to downtown Napa, giving it a more European feel. Please keep this area closed to traffic and open to diners.

From a happy local.

The al fresco strip lets people congregate and feel the social buzz of Napa and what we have to offer. It’s a great way for locals & tourists to take in the scenery and atmosphere of our lovely town. It’s also a safe way to socialize outdoors while supporting our community and helping restaurants blossom. The establishment has proven that it doesn’t impede traffic as there are multiple alternative streets to easily drive through. It’s truly an enjoyable area and benefits our community in several ways.

Renee Romaneck 7/1/2022
There is no need for this block to be reopened back to traffic. There are many other streets you can take to get to your desired location. It was so awful prior to closing, when dining and loud motorcycles and muscle cars would drive by and leave the smell of gas and exhaust in your face. Leaving the block as an al fresco dining area supports community togetherness Robert Pepi 7/1/2022
This one block area between 2nd and 3rd streets on Main makes for a wonderful open air dining experience and since it is almost all restaurants on this block it has minimal impact on other businesses.

It would be a huge cultural loss to downtown Napa to lose this outdoor dining venue for both locals like myself and tourists Ryan Leija 7/1/2022 Josh weed for mayor

More seating and more business for our local restaurant owners that suffered during the pandemic.

David Gibson 6/30/2022 This piece of road is far too valuable to downtown Napa’s vitality as the alfresco dining area to return to its former state which was not a necessary road

Please keep main st closed for outdoor dining. It has been a wonderful addition to downtown during COVID and has made me realize how nice it is to dine outdoors year round. Closing this block of Main Street does not create traffic issues. I live nearby and drive through downtown regularly. I have not seen a single issue caused by the closure of main between 2nd and 3rd. Thanks Kina Kreer 6/30/2022 Love the Al Fresco Corridor in Napa! Please keep it! Leah Fitch 6/30/2022

I support this closure as I have seen so much life brought to this area. Its been a huge satisfier for locals and visitors to dine outside.

Its been great to see life brought to Veterans Park and the interaction with the Main Street restaurants. As a local, I feel this is one of the most inviting things to happen to downtown
Robert Gibbs 6/30/2022 This block of Main has become an extremely attractive addition to the downtown area and I have never yet met anyone who did not agree with me!
Robert Smith 6/30/2022 The closure of the 800 block of Main Street has brought more vibrancy and enjoyment to downtown Napa. It’s been a boon for the businesses that occupy the block. The blockage has also created a safer environment for pedestrians.

Blaize Boles 6/29/2022
Closing Main Street has added a layer of character and ambience to downtown Napa. It serves as a differentiator from other similarly sized cities with downtown dinings scenes. Reopening Main Street to car traffic takes this away and does not provide a meaningful benefit.

Bob Long 6/29/2022
Celia Ramsay 6/29/2022 I really enjoy having the outdoor dining and haven’t seen evidence that the closure has caused any problems Derek Andros 6/29/2022 We don't need this beautiful riverside venue to be re- opened to traffic.

This corridor has truly become the 'heart' of downtown Napa. THIS is what Napa's waterfront was meant to be...for our own community to enjoy, as well as for tourists for stroll and enjoy what we have to offer here...outdoor dining, family activities, a romantic getaway, or music in the park. It isn't just about the al fresco dining, it's about the whole vibe this corridor offers. All of downtown Napa deserves to be a part of what Napa County has to offer...this particular corridor greatly enhances those opportunities. I contribute to events with the Children's Museum of Napa Valley on a monthly basis in Veterans Park, and it's wonderful to see families enjoying the area with their kids in a safe and car free zone. Keep the Peace on Main Street! Katrina O'Quinn 6/29/2022 Keeping al fresco dining is vital to the economic stability and sustainability of our downtown restaurant community.

Keith Timmons 6/29/2022 The area is safer and more fun without traffic. Outdoor dining and street walking makes for an amazing experience.

Kevin Andre 6/29/2022 It makes Napa a more lively place, more business for those amazing places and less crowded and loud indoor restaurants.

Please keep it closed for a more enjoyable Napa downtwon Mark and Marybeth sizelove Sizelove 6/29/2022
These businesses survived Covid. They serve our community, which I support. As a member of the community I am not missing one thing by allowing these restaurants to have outdoor dining. If you take this away, for no good reason the sense of community and thriving businesses will be lost.

Mike Lee 6/29/2022
Raul Toscano 6/29/2022 More opportunities for locals and tourists to dine at the restaurants by the closures.

Renee Berkus 6/29/2022
This is an important pedestrian zone that supports the business of local restaurants and and bars. There are plenty of other north- south routes through downtown to supplement this. It is a lovely space, and so crucial for these restaurants to have extra dining patio to accommodate our huge tourist population and to make up revenue from challenging covid months.

Susan Bickford 6/29/2022
Webster Rasmussen 6/29/2022 This has been a vast improvement. Don't get rid of it! Whitney Heleker 6/29/2022 The fuel to the businesses by leaving it pedestrian friendly is amazing. Please leave it free of vehicles! A Paulsen 6/28/2022

One of the best things that's happened since the start of the pandemic has been the increase in outside dining. Retaining this is something the city should support for quality of life and to attract diners to the area. Outdoor crowds create a center of gravity and vibrancy to a city center. Sure, there are some minor trade offs but in general, its a big economic win for the city at large. betsy eppling 6/28/2022

Chris Jensen 6/28/2022
During the height of COVID, San Diego extended outdoor dining in the Gaslamp District as well as in Little Italy. It was so popular, that the City just extended the street dining for two years. Napa should follow suit, as it really helps the local businesses and it is a treat for their patrons.

Christen Malone 6/28/2022 It adds interest and unique character to downtown Napa, helping promote businesses, Napa tourism and repeat customers.

Christopher Castillo 6/28/2022 I support this closure because I feel that It helps a lot of the companies in that area. It gives customers options to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful view of napa. I also feel that since it is a small section that is closed off it doesn't really effect the traffic at all.

Christopher Wisner 6/28/2022 You’ve created a de facto River Walk which has a wonderful energy. Please consider making it a permanent feature in Napa.

In addition, since LE does nothing about the very loud muscle cars that disturb the peace downtown, the closure allows diners to eat in peace. Keeping it closed makes so much sense, opening g it back up, does not. Dawn K.

Elisabeth Fiorello-Sievers 6/28/2022
It’s about time Napa started city planning in favor of people and not cars or real estate developers. The impact of a walkable street is immeasurable. That 100m or so stretch on Main has drastically ameliorated the feel and draw of downtown Napa. Not only should it remain pedestrian, but more streets in the immediate area should be converted to pedestrian only. It will greatly improve the caché of Napa and be a boon for all restaurants, shops, and tasting rooms. Not to mention making our air cleaner.

Elizabeth Bickford 6/28/2022 Welcoming the public for Al Fresco dining brings more people and revenue into Downtown Napa - everyone benefits! Elle Fregoso 6/28/2022
This has been a wonderful amenity for our community. It brings everyone together and provides a safe environment for families and visitors to enjoy our beautiful downtown space. Not having to worry about drivers speeding down Main Street while dining outside and brought a sense of security and encourages our family to continue supporting our local businesses. Please consider our comments and request to keep the main street blocked to traffic.

Enzo Duscenne 6/28/2022 The permanent closure to traffic does not affect the cars flow at all and benefits walking and dining experience downtown Eric Jensen 6/28/2022 I love the festive atmosphere with Main Street closed!

This street promenade creates a space that makes Napa stand apart and provides a community aspect that you wouldn’t be able to do anywhere else. Please leave this small block in front of the park as is. Community is everything. Prior to this, only guys with loud cars and motorcycles would drive by and show off how loud and annoying their toys are, now that’s gone, please keep this space open.

Heather Henry 6/28/2022
Heather Hutson 6/28/2022 We are used to not having that street available to drive on now — might as well keep it as a pleasant outdoor space to enjoy in the heart of downtown!
Helen Weed 6/28/2022
We are frequent visitors to Napa, and the closure of this block to traffic has been one of the most positive things to happen in downtown Napa. To leave this block closed to traffic brings to mind the wonderful town squares in many towns in Europe where people congregate all day long to dine, play, meet with friends, and carry on business. More American towns need this kind of pedestrian space, and Napa, with it’s wine and food scene, is the perfect community for this. The location of the park on that block makes it especially perfect.

Jackie Reinsimar 6/28/2022 I love that this section of Main Street is safe and void of traffic and that all the wonderful restaurants have the option of spacious outdoor dining.

Dear City Council.

For all the problems of Covid, we have one happy discovery: dining on the street in our beautiful town. The outside dining has added a level of grace to life in Napa that can’t be gained in any other way. This is why Napaans go to Europe! and why foreigners feel so happy in Napa. Keep it open, the Napans will celebrate you, and the world will more happily come to Napa! Positive all around!!
Thank you for your consideration,

The outdoor space on Main street, across form the park is the BEST improvement to the flow and "walkability" to downtown since the construction of the flood control for the river! The Napa Valley , in it's unique way, offers a "European style" experience which is accentuated by the outdoor dining and pedestrian friendly changes that were made to Main street as a result of the pandemic PLEASE keep those positive changes to enhance the "quaintness" of Napa.

As a side note I drive through the city of Napa frequently and the minor traffic flow adjustment that resulted from this fantastic space is a NON ISSUE! AND there are numerous parking options close by! Neil Ross 6/28/2022

The pedestrian way with al fresco dining is one of the only good things to come from Covid. It opens our beautiful downtown to the outdoors. Many of the great small towns of the world devote space for these kinds of pedestrian areas, as it makes city centers more alive and exciting. Please keep this new treasure! And I hope we can find more ways to add further outdoor pedestrian areas for strolling and al fresco dining.

This is my favorite part of downtown Napa. The outdoor dining connected to the park at the 800 block of Main has turned out to be amazing. Once or twice a week, I really enjoy; walking, sitting, drinking and eating around that area, free from traffic. Please keep this little gem in the city.

Tess Bogel 6/28/2022 Keeping this Al fresco corridor helps promote community. It gives Napa an elevated atmosphere in showcasing the great food and wine we have to offer! Also, that section of Main Street is not key in easing traffic, so there’s really no loss in keeping it as it is.

Theresa Cioff 6/28/2022 Cities that have embraced this concept have seen an uptick in revenue to establishments which translates into more money for the City of Napa.

As both a local and a salesmen to the local businesses, having this section of Main St has been fantastic for all businesses downtown. This has increased foot traffic downtown and made it much more enjoyable. Opening up that one block doesn't offer very many benefits. It doesn't increase parking or speed up the flow of traffic.

Tom Bracamontes 6/28/2022 It provides a unique dining experience and is great for the community.

Tom Peters 6/28/2022
I am in the industry working on the distribution side of the business in NJ. I visit Napa/CA wine country 4 times a year.

Being able to walk safely with our families and enjoy the park has had us enjoying downtown Napa than we ever have before. Please keep the street closed! Alexandra Zimmerman 6/27/2022
Amy Hall 6/27/2022 The pedestrian corridor is fabulous. Locals and tourists alike love it. All the outdoor dining throughout town is a huge plus!! Please please keep it. Have lived here over 20 years… it’s such a step up.

Amy McNeil 6/27/2022
Andrew Schmeltz 6/27/2022 Love the new promenade style to Main Street. Essential for locals and visitors alike! Ann Pepi 6/27/2022 The closure of the block of Main Street joins Veteran’s Park with the restaurants and gives the block a plaza like feel that is wonderful to experience whether I’m dining there or walking or biking by. I love to enjoy this space and see others do the same.

Antonio Martinez 6/27/2022 Please keep Al Fresco Corridor open and free of cars Ariana Humpert 6/27/2022
The closure of this part of Main St. is not only important to the restaurants, but to the influx of locals and tourists alike who have been utilizing Veterans park SO much more since the street closure. I see so many more families with small children running around playing and having picnics. Musicians playing under the trees and dance classes by the river. Before, cars would race down Main daily, making the enjoyment of the park much more dangerous, especially for children. Our Mayor, Mr. Sedgley has a son who was my night school teacher many years ago, dedicating his time and energy to the local teens. Our Mayor himself was once a member of our local Fire Dept. protecting and serving our beautiful community. I think it's safe to say that they care deeply for the youth and value family time and know how important it is to have a safe place for our local families and children to come and run around the park and feel safe doing so, knowing they are safe from traffic. Please, keep this part of Main St. closed not just for the local restaurants, but for the Napa community. We have gone this long with it closed.... Let's please keep it that way. Thank you for your time.

Christophe Gerard 6/27/2022
Clara Mier Buoncristiani 6/27/2022 I love the feeling this adds to out downtown area Clay Newton 6/27/2022 Al fresco dining in downtown Napa has been a fabulous gift. Why make the downtown so car focused when it’s pedestrians who are actually spending time and money in the area?
Colleen Devaney 6/27/2022 Makes for a nicer environment in Napa for dining and drinking outside. No impact to parking and limited inconvenience to driving.

Plus the more seating, the more revenue for businesses and the city.

Dan Person 6/27/2022 Closing that block feels like we are focused on making a stronger community.

David Aten 6/27/2022 Keep Main Street CLOSED to Auto Traffic David Dennis 6/27/2022 This section of Main Street is perfectly suited for outdoor dining and should remain as is. There are several examples worldwide that have proven very successful for tourists and locals alike.

David Jacque 6/27/2022
I was born and raised in Napa and this is something that has changed the feel of downtown. Napa has been behind the times in regards to taking advantage of its resources. We don't need this street open. I'm downtown every day and this street is not necessary for traffic flow.
dominika guzowska 6/27/2022
Napa is a culinary Mekka for millions of visitors every year. We need that outdoor dining to accommodate them and make our town more enjoyable. The revenue for the restaurant owners and their employees should be also taken under consideration- especially after 2 years into Covid and all the signs of the recession we’ve been facing.

Jenn T. 6/27/2022 I love bringing friends from out of town to enjoy all of Downtown Napa’s new al fresco dinning, but most of all the 800 block of Main Street. It’s made that whole area so much more walkable and enjoyable. It needs to remain.

Jocelyn Wilson 6/27/2022
Joe Bellino 6/27/2022 No traffic please! It's safer and more charming. Thanks.

Joseph Wagner 6/27/2022 This al fresco dining corridor enlivens napa as a whole. Bringing together the river, veterans park, and the historic buildings on Main enhances the downtown experience for locals and visitors alike.

We need safe areas for the community to gather.

I am a 25 year home owner in Old Town that is disheartened to what is happening with the traffic and dangerous crosswalk situations. Locals and tourists can park in the lots and walk.

Also, having the seating outside is great for the restaurant operators and guest! They do this all over Europe!!! Kris Kraner 6/27/2022 I have a business downtown and support the opportunity that this closure will provide to all of downtown Napa.

I absolutely love having that street closed down near the park. It’s such a nice piece of mind to know that no car is going to speed around the corner 40 miles an hour while my child and I Play and picnic in the park regularly. I also think having that walk-through space is an asset to the tourist as it attracts a lot of people, they enjoy the openness of the restaurants continuing all the way into the park.

Maria Landry 6/27/2022
As a local in Napa, I absolutely love having Main street closed. It gives downtown a homie and safe feel. It allows people to walk back and forth from the park to different restaurants without worrying about getting hit by a car. As you know cars drive extremely fast downtown and having Main street closed gives people a sense of safety. I like how you can dine outside under the stars and especially enjoy the Summer nights.

Marion Groetschel 6/27/2022 I support the closure
Marissa Sanchez 6/27/2022 The street is so great without cars-please keep it closed!!!! Mark Bell 6/27/2022 Love the easy access and the European feel that al Fresco dining creates… !

Please keep it for all to enjoy!🤞 Matthew Heil 6/27/2022 Keeping the street open will maintain a public environment where outdoor dining and relaxation can be enjoyed without the distractions of traffic.

Melissa D'Agostino 6/27/2022 I’m a downtown resident. Only two blocks away and I love having this. It’s a safe place for the kids to play while we grab a snack. It’ s got a great community feel. It’d be a shame to lose it Michael McAnallen 6/27/2022 Free the vibe that has been created with the closure of this part of main st.

I have visited Napa multiple times over the past two years and have thoroughly enjoyed the option of dining al fresco on Main Street. The beauty and sounds of that section is unmatched, and to have the ability to look at the river and hear the liveliness of Napa is unmatched in wine country. I have also had numerous customers and family members who were pleasantly surprised by the al fresco option.

This has been a very positive addition to the Napa experience - please keep it as an option for all of us! Mitchel Sinsay 6/27/2022

Rachel Docherty 6/27/2022 It is so lovely to see families, teenagers, tourists and locals dine, stroll and enjoy Main Street. Many people have told me it reminds them of Europe. It would be a shame to return that little stretch back to a noisy, unnecessary, exhaust fumed street.

Robert Bickford 6/27/2022 we need the excitement and flexibility that al fresco dinning offers the community and our visitors Roberto Bonefont Jr. 6/27/2022 This will be a critical path to expanding all opportunities for the future food and beverage operations PLUS limiting the cut through of bypass traffic into a pedestrian-heavy zone!

Steven Ventrello 6/27/2022 We believe it would be best for downtown Napa to keep the 800 block of Main Street a pedestrian zone.

Tony Morales 6/27/2022 I think that it has been a wonderful addition to the downtown area.

Tony Winnicker 6/27/2022 Main Street closure should stay! It’s a great addition to downtown, creates a European, lively draw for locals and visitors alike, and has a negligible impact on traffic, if any. Do not ruin this Napa City Council! Trevor Frerking 6/27/2022
Tyler Stacy 6/27/2022
I do business in Napa with multiple restaurants on this block. There is plenty of parking around the block, and the revenue generated from the additional seating out front is a huge part of survival during Covid and in a post Covid world where restaurant owners are struggling the keep the doors open. The minor convenience for vehicles gained by re-opening this block to traffic is negligible. Promote walking, promote culture, promote fun, promote local businesses. Please keep this block closed.

Vanesa Martin 6/27/2022 Please keep main street closed
Vanessa Ayala 6/27/2022 Main Street should remain closed, outdoor dining is so much safer than indoor and the 4 restaurants on Main Street have flourished with the closure!

Also, al fresco dining is fun and feels so much safer for everyone. It will bring more life to downtown Napa. It's working great in SF and I hope to see it continue in Napa."

Greetings Council Members,
I am emailing to show our support for the permanent closure of the 800 Block of Main Street.

Please take this into consideration when you vote on the issue of reopening this street in the next council meeting.

Do not reopen this section of Main Street as it makes no economic sense, it adds character to Napa, broadens the city tax base with the additional eating spaces, it is visually pleasant to see people strolling along not worrying about cars and

makes people feel safe by being able to eat outdoors even in the middle of winter (which we did on New Year's Eve with our down jackets on under a heater!).

Thank you,
David and Carol Ash

Greetings Council Members,
I am emailing to show my support for the permanent closure of the 800 Block of Main Street to vehicle traffic.

As a Browns Valley resident, having this street closed to vehicles has made for a

charming outdoor dining scene during a pretty terrible 2+ years of Covid. Our teen enjoys hanging out with friends at Veterans Memorial Park, and we appreciate she has a safe place (due to lack of traffic PLUS many adults close by in case of trouble) to enjoy chars and music.

This street closure has brought liveliness to downtown to be enjoyed by locals and tourists. As someone very concerned about Covid exposure, I highly prefer to dine outdoors and have appreciated the extra outdoor seating. In particular, La Taberna transports is to Europe with only a 9 minute drive home.

Please take this into consideration when you vote on opening this street in the next council meeting.

Thank you,
Leslie Hauser

Greetings Council Members,
I am emailing to show my support for the permanent closure of the 800 Block of Main Street.

It has become a major community feature for both Napa locals and tourists alike, providing safe, plentiful outdoor space in a city where I walk/drive/bike assuming that any driver might be driving drunk unfortunately. The dining is lovely, but it's being able to walk around with our dogs and our friends in that whole riverfront area without vehicles nearby is what brings us downtown multiple evenings a week. We spend money downtown when we're walking around that we otherwise would have spent elsewhere (Amazon, Target, etc). This corridor is an attraction, an asset, and a revenue generator. Please keep it closed.

Please take this into consideration when you vote on opening this street in the next council meeting on Tuesday.

Thank you,
Emily Abramson

Why are so many people flossing to Europe this year? Cause they have been unable to travel and yearn for the lifestyle Europe has to offer. This includes lots of Al fresco dining on sidewalks and streets through France, Spain and Portugal to name a few.

People LOVE this outdoor dining. If anyone is against it I have to think it’s for their own agenda or not wanting to take 2 extra minutes to drive around the block.

We need to make the downtown area more pedestrian friendly. America has been so in love with driving everywhere instead of walking. Let’s change that and bring more people out and able to socialize and mingle and keep our restaurants

thriving.

Dear City Council Members,
I have enjoyed outside dining at ALL the restaurants on the closed part of Main Street many times since the street closing and certainly support keeping it as is.

Your support in this matter is appreciated.

Hello Beth,
The Washington Post reported on this WHO finding last week, it might work in favor of pushing the opening of Main Street the winter of 2023. Agreeing with you that it would get some time to figure a path forward.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2022/07/13/covid-pandemic-wave-who- ba5-variants/
We look to have the ability to raise $200K from the stakeholders and others that want to contribute to keeping Main Street a pedestrian corridor. The conversion of Main Street to a Pedestrian corridor according to the City of Napa started at $800K, then to $1m and now I am hearing $1.5m. Not sure where these numbers are coming from without a study or a design. Antidotally, I have had a couple of Urban planners that have stated that it could be converted easily for under $500k, again that is a number is without a plan or design.

Thank you for taking the time on this issue.

See you Tuesday, Mick

For distribution to Council and inclusion in July 19, 2022 meeting package.

To Whom It May Concern,
Closing Main Street negatively impacts Second street also. The picture below shows the two lanes of second street being reduced to a one way street at a very critical corner.

This truck had its gate lowered for a delivery that took a significant amount of time during mid-morning traffic.

Please do not close Main Street.

Thank you,

Hi Mayor and City Council
I am writing about the question of a permanent closure of the one block of Main St. in front of Veterans Park.

I think it's time for the City to reopen the street, when the current temporary closure expires.

To continue the street closure would be a gift
to certain businesses at the expense of all other city businesses.

Napa residents spent a huge amount of money to gift new outdoor sidewalk seating to businesses on that block before the pandemic. The removal of parking on Main St. was done to address the needs at the time and that should be sufficient. Any decision otherwise should also benefit ALL Napa businesses.

Bernie and Beth,
My thoughts on the Main Street Closure. I submitted letter to Register.

I like Mick at ZuZu. I have probably spent over $20K there since he opened. He and the others should fund this, not the City.

Main Street Properties Should Pay for Closure
The City Council is considering a proposal to close Main Street between 2nd and 3rd streets in front of Veteran's park.

The City's
main sticking point seems to be the steps it would have to take and the cost of the endeavor.

The City should not spend the people's
money to do this.

I am not opposed to the conversion of that piece of Main Street to be permanently closed to traffic. It was the right call in COVID to create outside options for the businesses on that block when restaurants were effectively not allowed to have inside dining.

I
figured out how to navigate getting around downtown without that thoroughfare and find the flashing red lights a laughable piece of overkill -- probably for the benefit of people that trust their I-phone to tell them where to go.

To call the closure proposal a 'pedestrian
mall' is really a joke. A single block - a pedestrian mall does not make. That block of Main Street was, pre-pandemic, already habitually closed for different events managed by the City's Recreation Department., so the argument of 'extension of Veteran's Park' is a bit tepid.

The beneficiaries of this proposal are really the businesses / property owners on that block, namely, Joe Wagner (Avow and Quilt & Co), Mick Salyer ('ZuZu,' Former 'Henrys' property, Former 'Chop Suey' place property, and 'La Taberna'), and Mike DeSimone (Landlord to 'Napkins').

The closure of Main Street would theoretically make
permanent the expansion of these businesses' outdoor seating into the former street.

This expansion gives them more tables to serve in an
outdoor setting, and thus more revenue and if they are good operators, more profits.

The City already spent $1.8 million of the people's money to expand the sidewalk depth and outdoor seating area on this block, benefiting the businesses there (and creating a more 'interactive, friendly experience for locals and visitors').

I cannot for the life of me,
understand why the City would consider spending another $1.5 million of the people's money to further benefit these businesses.

If
these businesses are really serious about wanting this benefit, then the said businesses should fund that improvement.
$1.5 million / 8

ATTACHMENT 1

businesses is about $200,000 per business for their expanded seating areas. There may be some City increment of Sales Tax that would give the City some marginal bucks on the expansions into the street, but in my book the City is already looking to recover the investment in its earlier $1.8 million expenditure.

Dear Ms. Luros:

Today's Napa Valley Register features this important issue on the front page above the fold, alerting readers that the current closure could be made permanent! I urge you and your fellow council members to make the logical decision, recommended by your staff(!!): keep this current closure temporary. Main Street is a rare north-south through street and, though today's closure may be kept in place for the foreseeable future, permanent closure would be unwise.

Sincerely, J. Mendelsohn, Napa resident

Subject: City Council Agenda Item 206-2022 (item 14): Do Not Reopen Main Street! Date: Monday, July 18, 2022 10:03:32 AM
Dear City Council,
As a Napa resident, an attorney who runs a public policy training program for the Aspen Institute, and a parent of a toddler, I strongly urge you not to reopen Main Street in December and to take steps to permanently close the space on a short and long term basis. (City Council Agenda Item 206-2022 (item 14)).

Vehicle Code 21 does not require the reopening of Main Street in December Contrary to the assertions of Napa staff in the powerpoint presentation, Vehicle Code section 21 does not require the reopening of Main Street in December. That section of the Code does not refer to street closures at all, or to how to handle ongoing public emergencies.

Staff has made no argument as to why that section requires reopening the street (or indeed, why conditions have changed now so as to require it when it did not require doing so previously.) At a minimum, the Council should seek further clarification from staff as to why they believe this change is required now.

The City Council could instead reasonably continue to close the street on an emergency basis, as it has already done so:

The ongoing COVID-19 emergency compels a continued road closure. The US Department of Health and Human Services has continued to declare a public emergency due to COVID-19 -- the same emergency that first led to the street closure. The pandemic continues to rage in our area, and there is likely more COVID-19 in our community and surrounding areas than at almost any time previously. There has been no change in the pandemic requiring the opening of the road closure.

Many families in this community continue to not want to catch COVID-19. In our family, we have not eaten indoors since the pandemic started. Leaving the street closed on an emergency basis based on the COVID-19 emergency will enable families to have access to outdoor dining that would otherwise be unavailable, and allows a safe space for children to play while dining given the connection to Veterans Memorial Park.

Moreover, with rising inflation there is a new emergency compelling the road closure:
an economic one. Local businesses have already suffered due the pandemic closures, and now are suffering again due to rising costs. Businesses will suffer if street closures reduce their seating capacity at this crucial time.

Reopening Main Street would be a mistake from a safety and business perspective As noted above, reopening Main Street will hurt families who want to be COVID cautious and [EXTERNAL]

ATTACHMENT 1

will also hurt businesses. But there is another key reason to close Main Street on a permanent basis: safety.

Veterans Memorial Park is a great place for families and kids. But historically, with a busy street nearby, there was no safe place for children to play and the space was underutilized as a result. With the street closures, the area has turned into a vibrant community. Parents can dine while children play in the park. Dogs can roam and people can relax by the water.

Please don't remove this tremendous access for families and for our community. Keep Main Street closed on an emergency basis, and work to make this closure permanent.

I unfortunately am unable to attend the meeting in person due to my family's COVID safety protocols, but would be happy to contribute remarks by phone or video if helpful.

Warmly,
Betsy Cooper

Dear Mayor Sedgley and City Council Members
I am sending this email regarding the proposed Main Street Closure. A number of longtime business owners downtown have reached out to me. I talked to Steve Potter and read the latest Staff Report. I would be at the meeting and shared these thoughts in person, but I have a previous commitment I cannot change.

From reviewing the tape of the last meeting, the City Council asked some good questions which Staff has responded to completely and accurately. I can say from conducting the Downtown Specific Plan (DSP) process that there was a real desire to and commitment to restoring the historic street grid and reopening streets like Coombs Street, to ensure we had a fully functioning street network to support future development. Main Street is a very important North-South collector for Downtown Napa - Jefferson is the next one - and it leads from north of downtown to important developments to the South including the Napa County Library, Fifth Street public garage, the Napa Courthouse, the County Buildings and other private developments that Napans use everyday. Circumnavigating the proposed closure would add avoidable vehicle turning movements and create more potential vehicle and pedestrians conflicts in this area. It is also important to think about emergency vehicle access.

Permanently closing just one block seriously changes circulation connectivity.

I don't understand the desire to permanently close Main Street in this block, particularly after doing the street improvements to widen the sidewalks in that area a few years ago at significant public expense. I understand that during COVID it may have been a helpful temporary use, but it seems that the restaurants only use it in the evenings and there are no other community events or programming of activities taking place there. With the temporary and permanent closure these intersections would continue to be further blocked by delivery vehicles and items being hand-trucked to the businesses. This was taken into consideration when the loading zone was placed in the middle of Main Street in this block. I don't understand the need to permanently close this block of Main Street to benefit a few businesses who have already had their sidewalks widened to accommodate outdoor dining. This seems like an unnecessary public expense at this time.

There are several very large projects looming in downtown, the Old Post Office (the new owner may want something different), the potential replacement of the second street garage and Carrithers building, the First and Main project, the Kohl's Block project, and the County surface parking lot to name a few. The permanent closure of Main Street will definitely impact the circulation pattern of downtown and cause related future traffic impacts in downtown. A very wise past Planning Commissioner Arthur Roosa told me on several occasions, "We need to look at the comprehensive impact of some of these seemingly independent decisions". I believe that is the case with the proposed closure of Main Street in this block.

Again, I am very sorry I cannot be present to share these thoughts in person on Tuesday night,

Dear City Council,
Really, someone has to be kidding! A giant, glo-paint cactus right as people are trying to figure out who goes first?
Please do not
approve the "art" for the roundabout intersection. My office is right there across the street and even though the roundabout has been
in for a long time now, people are still unsure about right aways, there is still squealing of brakes and
honking all day long. The last
thing we need is "art" to distract the eye. I'm surprised that no one from Public Works traffic division has put a stop to the very idea.

Some pretty low growing plants as has been done on our side of the street is plenty.

Please use
public money to pave our disgusting
roads if you want to be welcoming to tourists.

The difference between Napa Valley streets and those
elsewhere makes us feel like we
live in a developing country when we return home from other places (Palm Desert for instance, seems paved in glass the roads are so perfect
and that's a tourist destination as well. It also has no overhead power lines. Wonder where all that money comes from? Doesn't seem they
are
any richer than Napa County, no real industry except tourism). Imagine how tourists used to smooth pavement must feel as their teeth chip when
they drive on our roads?
Thank you,

Beth,
I was glad to read in the paper today that you are not in support of permanently closing Main street and increasing the real estate restaurants have to serve people.

I understand
why this was necessary during COVID, and taxpayers spent a significant amount of money to extend the sidewalks to provide bistro seating outside.

I am not in support of spending
more taxpayer money to permanently close main street and give increased restaurant seating space on a public street.

When I have discussed it with other Napa residents they are also not in support of this project. .

Thank you for looking out for the Napa community!

Greetings Council Members,
Thank you in advance for voting in favor of a permanent closure of the 800 Block of Main Street! It’s obvious success lends to the vibrancy of downtown and provides a secure, safe pedestrian zone for visitors and locals alike to gather and enjoy our riverfront!
From supporting the locally owned establishments on the block, the purposed open air corridor will only improve visibility to our Downtown merchants. We are blessed with weather that beckons year around enjoyment! With the permanence of the Al Fresco corridor, it will certainly encourage additional beautification of the space.

And think of the additional tax revenues collected with the year around growth and performances of our locally owned businesses who have invested their interests in making our Downtown what it is! Imagine!! (credits: John Lennon) Many of us have had the pleasure and honor of dining and enjoying the plazas, piazzas and squares around the world. Why wouldn’t an International destination like Napa want to be included on that list? Thanks again for taking the time to read this note and doing the right thing when it comes to your vote in favor of permanent closure of our fabulous Al Fresco dining and park opportunity!

Cheers,
Peter Fitzharris

Dear Clerk:

Please forward this email to the Mayor and council members.

The closure of Main Street in front of Veterans Park has been hugely beneficial for all residents. What began as a temporary idea during COVID should be made permanent to enhance the traffic free environment of downtown.

Just a walk down any Napa downtown street shows how pedestrians are cyclists are inconvenienced by the noise and pollution from too many vehicles.

Take a look at cities
across California and the world.

Steet closures from the COVID period have become permanent and out door dining and recreation has flourished.

If Napa is serious about reducing pedestrian injuries caused by vehicles and enhancing the quality of life make the closure permanent.

Colin Petheram

Mayor Sedgley,
As the General Manager of the Napa River Inn & Historic Napa Mill, I have surveyed my tenants on the proposal to permanently close Main Street between Second and Third streets. We are not in support of this closure for the same reasons expressed by staff in the agenda item for the July 19, 2022 Council meeting. As stated in the staff report, the City has spent considerable time and resources on this proposal recently and in the past. I think one of the most compelling reasons not to permanently close the street is that Main Street is one of the only major north-south collectors that allows the street network to function as intended, providing access to key points in downtown, including our businesses and the nearby public parking structure at Fifth and Main. It also allows quick public safety access around town in an emergency. The need for a fast emergency response seems to have been overlooked.

Additionally, the City spent almost $2 million a few years ago to provide broader sidewalks and outdoor seating for restaurants in that block, and took parking off the north side to accommodate that. Closing the block during COVID was acceptable, but those reasons do not apply now. There are many public plazas, walking and bikeways available for recreation activities and public events. Many are not being used or programmed for events now. The businesses on that block are not open daily or throughout the day, so it seems like a lot of expense for a space that wouldn’t have private or public activity much of the time. This seems like an unnecessary expenditure of public funds.

Closing Main Street will also impact your future decision making regarding major upcoming projects downtown. I would suggest that we resume previous use of that street with closures on a temporary basis for events. I hope the City Council will support not closing the street now, and if it is still desired, the City should take it up with a robust public process as part of the City Council priority setting in 2023.

Dear city council, the temporary closure of Main Street 3rd to 2nd needs a plan that is not temporary. For 2+ years we’ve seen flashing red lights and construction barriers. The street I believe was intended to be closed to traffic for events utilizing veterans park, possibly weekends, and holiday celebrations, as well as widened sidewalks for outdoor seating . Please clarify the use plan so that our businesses and property owners can plan and staff appropriately.

Open the street to traffic Monday - Friday morning. Close to traffic Friday night - Sundays seasonally March to November, or with daylight saving time. We need a win win that will stick to properly service our locals interests and celebrate our veteran’s park Napa river amphitheater.

We have suffered through the decades of flood control and redevelopment

construction followed by now years of temporary Covid 19 adjustments to accommodate businesses and public health concerns. Not everyone agrees. This is not the time to invest future revenues in plans that are not supported by all of our community.

[EXTERNAL]
Dear Liz and Mary,
I cannot attend tonight’s meeting as I contracted Covid, but I wanted to share some additional reasons to make the closure permanent.

I envision the closed block as the “gateway” to the Riverfront complex. When Morimoto Asia opens, there will likely be more people than ever crossing third street. The closed block helps calm traffic at Third and Main by restricting right and left turns from third street onto Main. I think as a community, we want to encourage foot traffic down to the Riverfront rather than have a busy Third Street act as a barrier.

It’s easy to forget that the Riverfront was recently full of failed restaurants. Lucky for our community, all the spaces are (or soon will be) full and thriving. But there is no guarantee of good times. Many believe a recession is right around the corner.

Also a comment on a Brown Street mall. There is nothing on Brown between Second and First. Who wants a pedestrian mall that looks at the back of Wells Fargo and the second street garage. Total waste of money.

I hope you are successful in keeping the Main Street closure in place. I understand Staff does not support this, but as in many areas PW has its own point of view which is not shared by the voters of Napa.

Sincerely,
Cindy

Subject: Permanent Closure of Main Street between Third and Second

ATTACHMENT 1

Dear Scott and Beth,
I read with interest yesterday’s Register regarding consideration of permanently closing Main Street between Third and Second. I am not sure I understand your reluctance to approve this closure.

I realize there are fiscal hurdles to making this block a pedestrian mall. However, the Register article made it sound like these same expenditures would be required to transform Brown Street to a pedestrian mall. In my mind, there is no comparison between the opportunity on Brown Street versus the existing closure on First.

The current closure has resulted in a vibrant street and dining scene. The ease of pedestrian access will also encourage pedestrian traffic to flow onto the Riverfront (which is being revitalized with new restaurants). The whole area has a very European feel of outdoor dining plazas.

However, there is another benefit. It is now much safer to cross Third at Main.

You no longer have cars zipping up the bridge and turning right onto Main. Often these right turns are fast with barely the required stop. Since the closure, bicyclist and pedestrians cross in all directions (across Third and across Main) with much less peril. There is also a further benefit - traffic north of Second is now much lighter and drivers go slower. In fact, the closure has resulted n traffic calming at three key downtown intersections: Third and Main, Second and Main and First and Main. We used to ride our bikes north on Main from Third and it was pretty scary. Now it is mellow.

To the citizen - RebeccaLee - who wrote that the closure disrupted traffic. Isn’t that what we want downtown? In my mind, the primacy of the car must end on our downtown streets. There are still plenty of ways to get where you are going downtown without this block being open.

Thank you for your consideration.

Cindy Deutsch CSW

Mayor Sedgley and Councilmembers:

I have reviewed the staff PowerPoint and write in favor of finding a way to make the Main Street closure permanent. The Council may also consider broadening the street closure to create an auto-free zone downtown to include the First Street shopping mall area. Removing the vehicles from the downtown streets would make Napa more pedestrian (and tourist) friendly.

Although Main Street has historically been a major north-south corridor, it seems that Soscol and Jefferson have supplanted them, particularly in light of the traffic controls on virtually every corner to Lincoln.

Moreover, the public has lived with the closure for two years without significant disruption or inconvenience.

Assessing how to approach this is difficult with the costs currently projected so uncertain.

With that in mind, I think staff’s option 3b, "Reopen Main Street on 12/2/22, begin work to develop new plaza, and periodically temporarily close Main Street for special events,” makes the most sense.

I’m writing in support of the closure of Main St., between Second and Third.

While I understand the process is not an easy one, I believe Napa should take any steps possible towards a more walkable and pedestrian-oriented downtown.

The closure of Main st. and expansion into a ‘veterans plaza’ would increase the attractiveness of that area and allow an increase of outdoor seating in downtown Napa, which is a highly desired amenity most of the year.

I suggest we should be pushing vehicular traffic away from downtown as much as possible.

A recent trip to Europe had me surprised at the exponential growth of Electric Bikes, and their use by tourists and locals alike.

As someone who works downtown and commutes here daily, I would happily give up the convenience parking nearby in exchange for an expanded ‘car-free’ zone.

I’ve purchased an electric
bike in an effort to follow my own advice and commit to less vehicular traffic when possible.

Napa is well situated to capitalize on tourists and locals alike, who would be happy to leave a car behind. The Vine trail’s efforts on bike connectivity, and the closures of downtown streets could create a pedestrian oriented downtown without sacrificing convenience or circulation.

Thank you.

Dear Liz,

Thank you for taking the time to return my call about the shopping carts and the Main Street closure. I am tardy in following up with the images from A Pattern Language that I said I would send when we spoke—please find them in the attachments.

If I didn’t get the chance to tell you so, I love living in Napa. The changes to our city after the completion of the flood abatement project have been great for the community.

There is something for everyone downtown, and it’s become an attractive destination. That is what has inspired me to reach out to you and Scott Sedgeley, cc’ed on this email.

Despite the hits we all took in the last few years, there are some silver linings to come out of the pandemic.

For Napa, the temporary closure of Main Street has shown us that people want to be near the river—it feels vibrant there. Even in its temporary state, we have gained a pedestrian walk/town square that has a classic old-world charm. It’s a gift that we should explore keeping permanently.

ATTACHMENT 1

Could rising Covid numbers in the greater Bay Area be an argument for extending the temporary closure while simultaneously reviewing the implications of a permanent closure? (https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/san-francisco-covid-cases- undercounted-17313130.php )
Finally, regarding the shopping carts, I appreciate knowing about the toll-free number and cart retrieval service on the City website.

When I went to the site, I saw the list of
merchants utilizing the service. It’s probably no coincidence that I rarely see carts from any of those merchants on the street. Walmart and Lucky are not on that list and theirs are regularly around our neighborhood.

Last week I phoned Lucky last week about signing up for the retrieval service. The Assistant Manager directed me an 800 number to discuss the matter. Walmart has a similar 800 number.The responses from both merchants, while appreciated, feel like short term solutions to an ongoing problem.

Is there a City Department that could contact the merchants and request more frequent retrieval sweeps and/or the use of GPS trackers for the carts? Someone
from the City might get better results than I did. Our community has put a lot of effort into the beautification our town. Abandoned carts detract from that work. There are solutions available that could be achieved with minimal effort.

Thank you again for your responsiveness and understanding.

Kind Regards,
Wendy Day

Mayor Sedgely and Council Members,

During the broad discussions about downtown and the update to the General Plan, we often heard comments about how downtown needs to be more about walkability and biking and less about drivability. Overall, as downtown develops with more housing and, perhaps, one more hotel, along with more retail and commercial uses, locals and visitors alike will have a far more pleasant experience on foot or on bicycles rather than speeding around / through in their vehicles.

For example, in my opinion, First Street from Silverado Trail westward to at least Seminary should have a speed limit of 15 to 20 miles per hour. A small part of ensuring that speed is enforcement but the main aspects revolve around design issues that gently force drivers to slow down. Let’s make sure that key corridor with its very large number of pedestrians and bikes remains as a very safe place for all of these folks. Third Street, Clay Street, and Lincoln Avenue are there for folks who need to travel east and west in a faster manner.

Similarly, having pedestrian streets, much like many of us have experienced in our travels in the US and abroad, really help make downtowns come alive and stay alive.

There are many positives about
keeping Main Street closed. We have seen how, over the last two years, activity and pedestrian usage have increased substantially. At the same time, there are real operational issues in a closure such as delivery trucks as well as economic costs to make those permanent changes. Those who benefit the most financially should play a major role in funding that effort. Whether that is done with property assessments on the adjacent properties along with a rental fee on those who use the space on an annual basis are appropriate issues. I fully suspect that there are funding models in other communities that might provide some guidance.

I wish you well as you determine the best solution for this small yet important part of downtown.

Thank you for your consideration,

Chuck Shinnamon

Dear Mayor and Council members,
My name is Dan Worden a former member on the downtown steering committee and resident of downtown.

I am writing in hopes that you will not be making a big mistake for the future of our town.

Unfortunately past council members have made the wrong decisions which were detrimental to the health out our down town for generations.

The renewal of the “town center” in the 80’s the one way streets, the closing of Coombs street, The clocktower the removal of downtown buildings in favor of surface parking lots were all harms that were done in the new of progress that have been detrimental to our downtown.

I do not want you to make another one of these decisions.

I know it is tangental but the decision to close Brown street is definitely not the correct decision. I was VP of Banana Republic store design for a decade and in my work was able to see many retail areas throughout the country. both good and bad. One of the things that make a good pedestrian corridor is for it to have activity on it a reason to be or a reason to pass through it. The Brown street corridor is already closed for most of the proposed area. For two blocks from Pearl to First and half of First to Second. The last block only has one viable business on it so if you want it to fail close the rest of the street.

The block of Main street between 2nd and 3rd is an ideal pedestrian passage as the Covid closure has proven it is adjacent to an active park and a block of active restaurants who’s outdoor dining has enhanced the downtown so that it has a European plaza feel to it. It is a vibrant place to be and the closure of the block has only enhanced it. Making this a permanent pedestrian area is a benefit to the city. Taking it away is replicating one of the stupid things previous councils did in the past.

I think the future funds that were slated for the ill conceived plan of closing Brown and applying them to this much more vibrant block is the ideal thing to do.

The circulation issues that are caused by this block being closed can be mitigated by opening up the half block of Brown street that is currently closed.

Mayor Sedgley in the last meeting was using the idea of being able to walk unencumbered across town on the new Brown street Promenade. But currently it is mostly there and the only people who use is are people going from one parking lot or structure to somewhere else. It is [EXTERNAL]

ATTACHMENT 1

not vibrant or even a place to hang out. Tearing out the existing trees to install a new pattern of trees and extending it another block is not going to make it more viable.

It would be nice if the city could be a bit forward thinking. The current parking structure on Second in slated for future demolition. The Cruthers county building is also an eye sore that the county would like to move the offices next to their other offices on Third.

Why don’t we take this golden opportunity and use that space for a large civic plaza that would enhance the lovely courthouse grounds and give the Mayor a truly delightful passageway across town.

The new parking Garage would be in the current surface lot and per the recommendations of the downtown steering committee wrapped in makers and artist studios further enhancing the downtown with something other than wine tasting rooms ir unsightly surface parking lots.

The north end of the Proposed Brown street is also under a mystery flux as to what mr Zapolski decides to do with his property. It would probably be better to wait till he comes up with a plan and then woryk with it. Maybe the city could sell Zapolski the current clocktower plaza so that it could fun the new civic plaza across the street.

Circling back please keep the one block of main closed it works and it is a benefit to the community. Unlike the the ill stated comment from the previous hearing it doesn’t and shouldn’t continue further down first.

Non existant buildings and parkinglots do not make sense on a pedestrian passageway.

Do not close Brown it will just become another Coombs that will have to be opened later or even worse a Clay street in the “Shops on 1st street” that after decades at least three remodels is still 80 percent empty.

I hope you make a good decision today.

[EXTERNAL]
Napa Valley supports the investment to establish and protect pedestrian zones and outdoor experiences in the City of Napa and throughout the valley. Pedestrian zones and outdoor experiences benefit both our local community and visitors.

As a rural four-season destination, Napa Valley lends itself naturally to socially distancing and al fresco experiences. As we’ve seen over the past two years, our community and visitors enjoy and expect the many attractive outdoor experiences we now offer, such as outdoor music, dining, trails, and recreation. It also, importantly, sets us apart from other destinations – a tangible benefit to our community.

Napa Valley’s tourism industry has recovered faster than other California destinations.

Our hotel revenues in 2021 reached 98% of 2019 pre-pandemic levels, and the City of Napa is now looking at receiving its biggest Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) contribution ever in 2022. The new Stanly Ranch property, for example, will generate an estimated $5 million alone in TOT funds in its first year open that go to the City of Napa’s General Fund, not to mention the contributions totaling $3.5 million they have paid into the housing trust.

Visitors are coming back to Napa Valley, staying longer, and spending more because we came together as a community to champion health and safety; we prioritized outdoor experiences (such as the closure of part of Main Street in Downtown Napa); we took seriously masking, vaccination, and social distancing. We have won back more than our fair share of visitors and we continue to do so.

Where other California
destinations are still struggling, Napa Valley hospitality industry is returning to pre- pandemic contributions to the General Fund.

We all recall the tough conversations around the possibility of cutting the City of Napa’s Parks & Recreation budget (in addition to other department impacts) in 2020 as a result of reduced TOT revenues and visitor supported sales tax revenues.

Thankfully
we aren’t in that position this year. Our hospitality industry is enjoying a busy, but

ATTACHMENT 1

sustainable summer travel season, and accelerating recovery of our economic contribution to our cities and towns. Tourism tax revenue through TOT will once again contribute at least 30% of the City of Napa’s general fund budget.

Help our community and welcome visitors by saying yes to investing in and creating spaces we can all enjoy. Visit Napa Valley, on behalf of our hospitality industry, supports turning Main Street between 2nd and 3rd streets into a pedestrian zone.

The tourism industry’s contribution to Napa Valley is vital. Here’s a look at the numbers that illustrate the impact on Napa Valley.

Hospitality is the second largest employer in Napa County - behind the wine industry.

In normal years, the tourism industry injects more than $2 billion into Napa Valley businesses and supports an estimated 16,000 jobs in the community.

Overnight hotel guests make up approximately 35% of visitors, but account for 70% of the spending.

Napa Valley’s visitors generate $85.1 million in tax revenue that goes to support local services like recreation, public safety, and road improvements. Note: this is revenue is generated by hotel stays that is paid for by visitors, not esidents.

I sent this email to council members, but misspelled "org" on your address, so here it is. Sorry.

Mayor, Council Members;
We am writing to support the proposal to leave the Main Street situation as it is.

This has given this area of Napa a real shot in the arm. It is a natural place to have this commercial area as it is adjacent to Veterans Park. It is wonderful now the way it is, but can become even more vibrant, charming, and delightful over time. This gets people out of their cars and walking around. While strolling this block, they can easily walk to other areas of downtown, to the added benefit of many other merchants.

Even though it is not on the agenda tonight, we personally would not mind seeing a few more blocks of Main Street added to the proposal.

Many other cities have done similar things to their benefit and delight.

Sure it is a change, but don't be timid. Use this to keep Napa growing and becoming increasingly vibrant and charming. We have to work at it if we want to keep our town economically viable and growing.

Thank you for your consideration.

Hi, there-
I am writing to comment on Agenda Item 14.A. 206-2022, the closure of Main Street between 2nd and 3rd Streets. Slow streets are safe streets. As a mother, a local business owner and a Napa resident for 16 years, I firmly support the permanent closure of Main Street from 2nd to 3rd Streets.

It’s good for locals and families – closing the street to vehicular traffic creates a safe place for children to play, and for families to comfortably dine and recreate.

It’s good for visitors – it creates a vibrant, engaging place to relax and encourages spending more time downtown at our local
establishments.

It’s good for business – outdoor dining is vital to draw in customers and creates a lively atmosphere.

The Napa General Plan emphasizes creating pedestrian-friendly spaces, gathering places and plazas to make our downtown more inviting. Closing Main Street from 2nd and 3rd streets absolutely meets those priorities. Please vote to permanently close Main Street from 2nd to 3rd Street to vehicles.

I am planning on attending but thought it is best to have my comment in writing to read as
well.

Be well,
Ashley

Having a pedestrian-oriented Main street on that block has been one of the great "no duh, that makes total sense" choices during the pandemic. It adds street life and vitality to downtown Napa in a way that significantly benefits the overall downtown experience, whether for a local or a tourist.

Nic Ehr 07/17/2022
The closure of the Main Street brings people out and has been the most successful creation from the city. This closure not only save the business on Main Street and created a safe walking environment to everyone.

Mark Sievers 07/17/2022
The corridor is a great addition. I have an office at the corner and find the corridor beneficial not a problem
Isaiah Lassiter 07/17/2022
The street has never looked better closed! It’s safer for kids and families to walk by and having extra seating at the restaurants is a huge plus.

Jill Klein Matthiasson 07/17/2022 One of the best silver linings of Covid. Feels like Al fresco dining in Europe.

Lisa Cort 07/17/2022
I support this out door dining corridor. It has provided a vibrant and much needed dining experience in Napa. There’s no reason to close It down as it’s proven cars can be routed efficiently around the block. It has created such a wonderful ambience in the downtown area. Thank you.

Jennifer Ross 07/17/2022
The restaurants on this street revitalized napa in the 2000s. They are the heartbeat of downtown, and the dining culture is only elevated by these street closures.

Samuel Tapia 07/17/2022
Keeping that section or main street closed helps the small business stay open while bringing in a great atmosphere. Traffic is not an issue on that small corridor m Tracy mcardle 07/17/2022
Mary Peterson 07/17/2022
My husband and I have dined at La Taberna before, during and after Covid restrictions. Opening the parklet and closing car traffic on one block of Main Street has not only helped rhe restaurants survive the pandemic it has created an exciting ambience in the area. This particular block is adjacent to Veteran's park that opens oppotunities to integrate park events with the parklet. We hope the Council uses the lessons learned from Covid to allow new uses for public streets that can aid the local businesses and enhance the vitality of downtown for local residents and visitors as well.

Please seriously consider making the closure permabent for the benefit of all. Thank you. Mary and Gary Peterson, residents of Napa

This corridor is great for locals and generates a tremendous amount of business for the downtown corridor. It is baffling how any elected official would oppose this as being bad for the interests of downtown Napa. The function for car traffic is far outweighed by the civic and economic benefit as an Al fresco dining location.

The restaurants and businesses along Main Street have provided perhaps the clearest evidence that it’s what Napa visitors and locals alike want to be part of this great city’s future.

Peter Fitzharris 07/16/2022
It's inviting, revenue generating and creating employment for Napans! A joyful place for community to safely gather to enjoy our riverfront, the delicious offerings of our locally owned establishments or enjoying their own home prepared picnic in a totally Napa way.

From day one, my wife and I have loved the al fresco corridor as an easy way to get together with friends and family. The location and environment are perfect. It is attractive to visitors and locals, alike. We live locally and have found the frequency of our trips to downtown have increased significantly since this portion of Main was closed to vehicles. We strongly support the continuation of this vehicle-free corridor.

Enriching our downtown space for community members and visitors is much more important to us than ONE block of square footage for driving. The space is very navigable with the al fresco dining.

We would like it to remain.

Karin Troedsson 07/15/2022 what a gem this has been. Let’s keep it going! Melvin Cheah 07/15/2022
The traffic hardly flowed on that street on Friday and Saturday evenings when it was open anyway.

People were cruising slowly down that street and blocking traffic. Better to have it closed and used for better things than noise pollution and air pollution.

Michael Corrigan 07/15/2022 Please keep this beautiful, car-free, pedestrian focused benefit for our community! Marissa Buck 07/15/2022
Al fresco dining should be the norm in Napa. We have beautiful weather year round and it adds to the sense of community, openness, and vibrancy in downtown Napa. It is great for locals and tourists alike and there is truly no downside. Please keep Main Street closed to traffic and open to the community!
Alex Torres 07/15/2022
I strongly support having this short section of Main Street closed for the foreseeable future.

Keeping the section closed contributes to Napa's unique ambiance. It helps to make Napa more pedestrian-friendly and walkable. There are few American cities of Napa's size that have this experience available.

In addition, the great dining and entertainment options on this stretch have used the space to achieve a higher level of community in ways that work to prevent the spread of COVID.

Jennifer Stone 07/15/2022 I love the atmosphere the outdoor dining brings! Makes downtown feel “fancy” and hip.

I should think that after 2 years of living with this the locals would see the benefits far outweigh any downfalls. It is a perfect location in front of Veteran’s Park. There is plenty of parking in the garages nearby. There is very minimal inconvenience in not being able to drive a car through this small stretch of downtown. I have been a Napa local for 18 years, and the redevelopment downtown is exciting!! The parklets & this open air dining on Main have been some of my favorite additions. It adds vibrancy and life, and any City Council should understand that vibrancy & life are the lifeblood of a town! A dead downtown is a terrible sign. Please continue to support the closure of Main Street in front of the park permanently! I would go so far as to ask that you consider adding other new sections like this as well!!

The vast majority of California (and indeed the US as a whole) is designed for cars. Having a single segment of a downtown street dedicated to people, walking, and restaurants sets Napa apart. It's a shame there are not more of these streets in the area, but it would be tragic to revert to having no pedestrianized streets in a city as beautiful as Napa. It makes downtown more livable and welcoming to people and families, improves foot traffic near local businesses, and improves air quality for everyone. Please keep main street pedestrianized, and please consider pedestrianizing more downtown streets!
Deanna Maher 07/15/2022
Covid-19 is still alive and well, whether we choose to believe it or not. The only way I would ever feel comfortable eating at a restaurant would be outside. Plus, I would be happy to drive around the block instead of straight through that one block section if it mean I get to eat outside at a nice restaurant from time to time.

Megan Davania Clark 07/15/2022
Ken Frank 07/15/2022
One of the great lessons from the pandemic was that closing one block of Main St would create such a positive space for our entire community to enjoy. It greatly improves public access to the park and eliminates unnecessary and unsafe traffic. I am in downtown every day and have not seen any negative traffic impacts from this closure. It serves as a positive catalyst, attracting people and enhancing the entire neighborhood. We need more people out on and enjoying our streets, and fewer cars.

Our reliance and relationship with individual cars is changing dramatically. Over the next decade we should expect this trend away from cars to accelerate. The City Council needs to show vision and provide the leadership to make our downtown a more vibrant space for people to get out and enjoy.

Keeping this block of Main Street closed is a good start. We need more of this, not less.

Kinnereth Winegarner 07/15/2022
This small section closure is so nice!!! Now that we are used to the traffic flow it doesn’t seem like much an interruption & adds to the pedestrian vibe.

Geni Whitehouse 07/15/2022 We love dining outside in this area of Napa! Jennifer Gilmore 07/15/2022
Look at cities around the world, more and more are supporting pedestrian streets, biking lanes, and car free downtown areas. It brings people together, makes the space more attractive for tourism and thus grows tourism and city economy.

Less cars also makes the area safer and cleaner!
Kindly do not open this street back up for motor vehicles.

Carly Ghiringhelli 07/15/2022
It provides a sense of outdoors community right in the heart of downtown. Locals wavinga and seeing each other and a chance to embrace the park for all it can over without traffic. I felt pride in Napa when using the Al fresco area and it really inspired me to walk over and see what everyone was doing in the park. It was all a reminder of why I chose to live her, raise my family and pay these crazy property taxes. We really don't have a space in our town that brings the people outside.

Tourists and locals unite in wanting this space.

As a local, it has been so wonderful to have the extended outdoor dining area on Main Street closed to vehicular traffic. It adds a level of vibrancy and community that otherwise can feel lacking downtown.

We also have a teenage child who appreciates the space at Veterans Memorial Park for gathering on her own with friends and enjoying music and other activities, and knowing that the area is blocked to vehicular traffic makes us feel more safe as parents. Knowing that teens have a safe place to gather in a public area where adults are nearby if help is needed is a great local resource in a city with limited options for youth gathering.

Personally, I have noticed no traffic disruptions when driving downtown, knowing that Coombs and Soscol are easy throughways. Bringing more energy and liveliness to downtown in the 4+ years that we have lived in Napa has been a joy to experience during a time of great nationwide trauma. Being able to have more space to gather outside safely should be a priority for City Council for locals, and having more places for tourists to engage in the community is welcome to the businesses as well.

Please keep this area of Main Street pedestrian-only, and I would even suggest closing down additional streets to vehicular traffic to bring more youthful energy to our city. Thank you for your service.

Areli Monjaras 07/14/2022

Jennifer Anderson 7/13/2022
One of the best things to come out of Covid are all the street closures and parklets that have allowed for more outside dining.The Main Street closure has been even more of a plus because of it being right next to Veterans Park. The amount of activity and energy in the park along with the outdoor dining and pedestrian walkway has made for a wonderful outdoor space for the whole community to enjoy. When this little block is open to traffic it only becomes a raceway of cars speeding to beat the lights, loud engines and pollution next to outdoor diners. Please work on keeping it permanently closed in order to continue the vibrant and amazing space it has developed into.

Melyna Huff 7/13/2022 This is such a great addition and I hope it stays. We spent a lot of time in downtown now that we have this option!

As a Napa resident since 1995, I've seen a number of roadway changes over the years, e.g., the back-and-forth experiments on one-way streets downtown, the installation and subsequent removal of the roundabout in So. Napa, etc. This change is unwarranted, as it would remove a wonderful venue from downtown. Keeping that portion of Main Street closed hasn't seemed to affect traffic flow appreciably, it still allows delivery vehicles and, perhaps most significantly, can always be reopened at a later date. What harm can come from keeping it closed (at least for now)? J Evans 7/11/2022

The alfresco dining needs to be made permanent in the area of Main Street and Veterans Park. It has been a great addition to dining options , safe walking and makes economic sense for the city! It broadens the tax base by increasing number of diners able to eat at a restaurant.

Given the proximity of the park to the businesses and the number of pedestrians throughout that area, it’s unsafe to allow through traffic. Locals and tourists alike enjoy outdoor experiences and will opt to dine outside of Napa when they aren’t available. Reopening this street will have a negative impact on the city of Napa, from an experiential, financial, and safety perspective.

City of Napa does not support small business. It’s interesting how difficult it is to get a use permit for anything in downtown, but other cities in California are willing to work with their small businesses.

Napa’s city council’s ego is too big and god forbid we take attention away from their large heads and re-direct it towards restaurants that are doing well under the current climate. You’d think with how abysmal the city’s Covid relief for restaurants was they would want to help maintain anything cool and successful downtown. There has previously been no place to hang out downtown outside and now Napa wants to take that away. Get ready Napa to have more businesses fail under the current self admiration of the feeble minded city council.

Why on EARTH would we lose arguably the best pedestrian street (and only, really)? What is the point? This has brought us LOCALS an opportunity to enjoy our restaurants year round, especially during the summer when tourist come in. While we love our-of-towners, they also take up all of our local reservations. The street being open has allowed us to support our favorite local joints throughout the year with the increase of tables. I do not understand the purpose of re-opening this otherwise useless Street which had zero traffic. Keep it as it is. Bring the city some money and a great street to boast about.

It’s also a safe way to socialize outdoors while supporting our community and helping restaurants blossom. The establishment has proven that it doesn’t impede traffic as there are multiple alternative streets to easily drive through. It’s truly an enjoyable area and benefits our community in several ways.

Renee Romaneck 7/1/2022
There is no need for this block to be reopened back to traffic. There are many other streets you can take to get to your desired location. It was so awful prior to closing, when dining and loud motorcycles and muscle cars would drive by and leave the smell of gas and exhaust in your face.

Leaving the block as an al fresco dining area supports community togetherness

Cody Sherrill 6/30/2022 This street being closed for pedestrians and restaurants creates a wonderful setting in downtown Napa. As a local I never find a need to drive down this street.

Danielle Gibson 6/30/2022
This area brings such great energy to downtown Napa! Outside dining is what this city has been lacking for years!
Why ruin a great thing?
More seating and more business for our local restaurant owners that suffered during the pandemic.

David Gibson 6/30/2022 This piece of road is far too valuable to downtown Napa’s vitality as the alfresco dining area to return to its former state which was not a necessary road

Please keep main st closed for outdoor dining. It has been a wonderful addition to downtown during COVID and has made me realize how nice it is to dine outdoors year round. Closing this block of Main Street does not create traffic issues. I live nearby and drive through downtown regularly. I have not seen a single issue caused by the closure of main between 2nd and 3rd. Thanks Kina Kreer 6/30/2022 Love the Al Fresco Corridor in Napa! Please keep it! Leah Fitch 6/30/2022
Lindsay Newton 6/30/2022
I support this closure as I have seen so much life brought to this area. Its been a huge satisfier for locals and visitors to dine outside. Its been great to see life brought to Veterans Park and the interaction with the Main Street restaurants. As a local, I feel this is one of the most inviting things to happen to downtown
Robert Gibbs 6/30/2022 This block of Main has become an extremely attractive addition to the downtown area and I have never yet met anyone who did not agree with me!
Robert Smith 6/30/2022
The closure of the 800 block of Main Street has brought more vibrancy and enjoyment to downtown Napa. It’s been a boon for the businesses that occupy the block. The blockage has also created a safer environment for pedestrians.

Sapphire Davis 6/30/2022 The restaurants need patio space and the park is safer without through traffic.

Allan Mochwart 6/29/2022 Safety concerns
Amit Nischal 6/29/2022 There is no need to open up the street, traffic is not a issue. I walk my dog and eat at the restaurants thete and the feeling of openness in that area is priceless Blaize Boles 6/29/2022
Closing Main Street has added a layer of character and ambience to downtown Napa. It serves as a differentiator from other similarly sized cities with downtown dinings scenes. Reopening Main Street to car traffic takes this away and does not provide a meaningful benefit.

Bob Long 6/29/2022
Celia Ramsay 6/29/2022 I really enjoy having the outdoor dining and haven’t seen evidence that the closure has caused any problems
Derek Andros 6/29/2022 We don't need this beautiful riverside venue to be re- opened to traffic. Please keep it for dining and entertainment and a safe meeting place for families.

Diyar Kostek 6/29/2022 Hardworking people need the extra tables outside to keep their jobs. dustin ramey 6/29/2022

The hardworking restaurant workers will lose business by closing this road and it will be bad for economy.

Also this road is safer closed for children.

Esther Colorado 6/29/2022 Please keep the Al fresco corridor… napa needs it FRANK PANICALI 6/29/2022 I had the most enjoyable experience dining at Avow's outside area .... it would be a shame to prevent this fresco experience for future patrons.

This corridor has truly become the 'heart' of downtown Napa. THIS is what Napa's waterfront was meant to be...for our own community to enjoy, as well as for tourists for stroll and enjoy what we have to offer here...outdoor dining, family activities, a romantic getaway, or music in the park. It isn't just about the al fresco dining, it's about the whole vibe this corridor offers. All of downtown Napa deserves to be a part of what Napa County has to offer...this particular corridor greatly enhances those opportunities. I contribute to events with the Children's Museum of Napa Valley on a monthly basis in Veterans Park, and it's wonderful to see families enjoying the area with their kids in a safe and car free zone. Keep the Peace on Main Street!
Katrina O'Quinn 6/29/2022 Keeping al fresco dining is vital to the economic stability and sustainability of our downtown restaurant community.

Keith Timmons 6/29/2022 The area is safer and more fun without traffic. Outdoor dining and street walking makes for an amazing experience.

Kevin Andre 6/29/2022
It makes Napa a more lively place, more business for those amazing places and less crowded and loud indoor restaurants.

Please keep it closed for a more enjoyable Napa downtwon Mark and Marybeth sizelove Sizelove 6/29/2022
These businesses survived Covid. They serve our community, which I support. As a member of the community I am not missing one thing by allowing these restaurants to have outdoor dining. If you take this away, for no good reason the sense of community and thriving businesses will be lost.

Mike Lee 6/29/2022
Raul Toscano 6/29/2022 More opportunities for locals and tourists to dine at the restaurants by the closures.

Renee Berkus 6/29/2022
This is an important pedestrian zone that supports the business of local restaurants and and bars.

There are plenty of other north-south routes through downtown to supplement this. It is a lovely space, and so crucial for these restaurants to have extra dining patio to accommodate our huge tourist population and to make up revenue from challenging covid months.

Susan Bickford 6/29/2022
Webster Rasmussen 6/29/2022 This has been a vast improvement. Don't get rid of it! Whitney Heleker 6/29/2022 The fuel to the businesses by leaving it pedestrian friendly is amazing. Please leave it free of vehicles!

One of the best things that's happened since the start of the pandemic has been the increase in outside dining. Retaining this is something the city should support for quality of life and to attract diners to the area. Outdoor crowds create a center of gravity and vibrancy to a city center. Sure, there are some minor trade offs but in general, its a big economic win for the city at large. betsy eppling 6/28/2022

My husband and I have loved the expansion of Main Street restaurants and keeping the 800 block of Main Street closed to traffic. We hope you keep this block closed to traffic so that pedestrians can enjoy the park and the additional restaurant seating.

Brooke Stewart 6/28/2022 This is a huge asset to the Napa area! Brookelyn de Jesus 6/28/2022
Bruce Devlin 6/28/2022 Please keep Main Street closed to traffic. It has improved downtown tremendously and really aided our local businesses. Having lived here 20+ years I only see it as an improvement.

We would like to see all the restaurants that have out door seating continue to do so. We personally like that these restaurants provide this and dine here for this reason.

We hope you really take in to consideration what the patrons have enjoyed these last couple of years.

Chad Hornik 6/28/2022 I'm in full support!
Cheryl Goodin 6/28/2022
Chris Broemmer 6/28/2022 It would be a shame to see the road opened back up for traffic. It’s a safe and fun attraction by having it closed for visitors from all over.

Chris Jensen 6/28/2022
During the height of COVID, San Diego extended outdoor dining in the Gaslamp District as well as in Little Italy. It was so popular, that the City just extended the street dining for two years. Napa should follow suit, as it really helps the local businesses and it is a treat for their patrons.

Christen Malone 6/28/2022 It adds interest and unique character to downtown Napa, helping promote businesses, Napa tourism and repeat customers.

Christopher Castillo 6/28/2022
I support this closure because I feel that It helps a lot of the companies in that area. It gives customers options to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful view of napa. I also feel that since it is a small section that is closed off it doesn't really effect the traffic at all.

Christopher Wisner 6/28/2022 You’ve created a de facto River Walk which has a wonderful energy. Please consider making it a permanent feature in Napa.

Dan May 6/28/2022

Please keep Main St. Closed . The closing of the street has been so good for tourism and for the restaurants. It adds so much charm to downtown and draws in customers and business. In addition, since LE does nothing about the very loud muscle cars that disturb the peace downtown, the closure allows diners to eat in peace. Keeping it closed makes so much sense, opening g it back up, does not. Dawn K.

Eddie Heintz 6/28/2022 Do it! We need it!!
Elisabeth Fiorello-Sievers 6/28/2022
It’s about time Napa started city planning in favor of people and not cars or real estate developers.

The impact of a walkable street is immeasurable. That 100m or so stretch on Main has drastically ameliorated the feel and draw of downtown Napa. Not only should it remain pedestrian, but more streets in the immediate area should be converted to pedestrian only. It will greatly improve the caché of Napa and be a boon for all restaurants, shops, and tasting rooms. Not to mention making our air cleaner.

Elizabeth Bickford 6/28/2022 Welcoming the public for Al Fresco dining brings more people and revenue into Downtown Napa - everyone benefits!
